Our Favorite Technology Features from Acura
Acura stays on the leading edge of automotive innovation, from performance to reliability to comfort. That mentality extends to interior comfort too. The automaker is committed to improved safety, infotainment, and connectivity, no matter where you're headed.
Protection for the Long Haul
Safety is always important, especially on roads that you may not be familiar with. Acura offers a suite of semi-autonomous active safety features that are always at work while you drive. The brand-exclusive AcuraWatch® suite uses input from the vehicle’s external cameras and sensors to virtually “see” the road and detect potential hazards in all directions. The vehicle’s onboard computer analyzes the input with an advanced algorithm to determine how to react in fractions of a second. Some of these will respond with audible and visual warnings, and some of these can even take control of the vehicle to avoid collisions before the driver has time to react. Features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist all reduce driving fatigue on long journeys.
The Perfect Road Trip Soundtrack
One of the most important aspects of any trip is the playlist. When you’re planning a long trip, you need songs that make you want to sing along. But how do you get them from your smartphone to your car’s speakers? Acura has the solution. The automaker created many solutions. From USB ports that connect and charge to the auxiliary input, there are tons of ways to connect your devices. Bluetooth®, SiriusXM® Radio, Pandora®, Apple CarPlay™, and Android Auto™ are all available on some models, so you can integrate your car into your busy life better than ever. All that streaming audio can be delivered through the ELS Studio® Premium Audio System, which delivers crisp sounds and rich tones from fine-tuned speakers.
Every Step of the Journey
Acura doesn't just want you to get to your destination style, but also with remarkable efficiency. The Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition System is lightning-fast and allows you to find your destination with the user-friendly interface, or by voice commands. Voice guidance and turn-by-turn map directions from this advanced system will help you reach your destination using the best route. With optional AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™ with Traffic Rerouting™, you can minimize your time spent driving, and make the most of your trip.
Command Center
As infotainment systems and features get more complex, there’s a need for more buttons, which could overcrowd the dashboard. That’s why Acura developed the On Demand Multi-Use Display™ (ODMD™). This touchscreen display simplifies the wealth of technology, connectivity, and navigation features offered in many of the automaker’s models and creates an easy-to-use interface. The result is a seamless user-friendly experience for managing where you’re going and how you get there. On the ODMD™, you’ll find climate control settings, as well as shortcuts for connecting your smartphone, activating Valet Mode, and more.
No matter where the road takes you this year, Acura is here to make the trip as smooth as possible. The latest technology, the most comfortable interior appointments, and the innovative safety packed in every Acura model allow you to focus on making memories with your loved ones.
